Tribunal upholds CIT(A)'s decision on unexplained investment; Appeal dismissed over jurisdiction issue.
The tribunal upheld the ld. CIT(A)'s decision to confirm the addition of Rs. 7,97,015 on account of unexplained investment. The appeal was dismissed as the Assessing Officer's assumption of role without a valid transfer order u/s. 127 was challenged, but the tribunal found no reason to interfere with the findings. The hearing proceeded ex parte due to the assessee's history of seeking adjournments without specific reasons.

The hearing was conducted through video conference due to the Covid-19 Pandemic situation.
2. The assessee filed an application for adjournment, which was dismissed by the tribunal due to the assessee's history of seeking adjournments without specific reasons.

DR representing the revenue was ready with arguments, and the tribunal decided to proceed with the hearing ex parte.
3. The ld. CIT(A) confirmed the addition of Rs. 7,97,015 on account of unexplained investment.
